'''CORNSTALK FIDDLE (AND SHOESTRING BOW)'''. Old-Time, Breakdown. USA; Kentucky, Mississippi, Arkansas. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The title appears in a list of traditional Ozark Mountain fiddle tunes compiled by musicologist/folklorist Vance Randolph, published in 1954. It was recorded by Mississippi fiddler Frank Kittrell for the Library of Congress in 1939 (AFS LC 3035  B2). Although Davenport's tune is different from the tune called "Cotten Eyed Joe," the title "Cornstalk Fiddle" may be in some locales a floating or alternate name for "Cotten-Eyed Joe," a line of whose ditty goes:
<!-- REPLACE THE ABC CODE BETWEEN THE <PRE> </PRE> TAGS -->
<blockquote>
''Cornstalk fidde, shoestring bow,''<br>
''Look out Boys (or, Play a little tune), says Cotten-Eyed Joe.''<br>
</blockquote>
The ditty that Davenport occasionally sang with the tune went:
<blockquote>
''My bow's sugar, my bow's sweet;''<br>
''My bow's sugar and she can't be beat.'' <br>
''Cornstalk fiddle and a shoestring bow'' (x4)<br>
</blockquote>
Jeff Titon (2001) says the 'B' part of Davenport's tune is similar to that of two other of his tunes: it is nearly identical to the 'B' part of  "Sugar in My Coffee-O," and close to "Open the Gate and Walk on Through." Titon finds it a variant of  "Grapevine Twist," printed in the publications of  Howe and Kerr in the 19th century. The melody also turns up in Lomax and Lomax's '''Our Singing Country''' (1941, pp. 68-69) in a song called "The Bank of the Arkansas," collected from a woman in Texas.
